Triceratops

Patrick Cardozo Dr Jeffrey Martz Geo 1306 3/24/2017 Second research paper analysis; Evolutionary trends in Triceratops from the Hell Creek Formation, Montana The authors were interested in knowing the actual evolutionary trends in the triceratops from the Hell Creek Formation, Montana; Some previous Palaeontologists have recognised two Triceratops species, Triceratops horridus and Triceratops prorsus, due to the fact that the length and shape of the horns and the size and structure of the skull. However, scientists have been wary of the evolutionary relationship between the two Triceratops species. It was said that the two species could have been descendants of an extinct dinosaur, evolving as their ancestor's evolutionary tree which was split into two branches, in a process known as cladogenesis. But they argued If this were the case, both species would have lived at the same time, at perhaps different locations, where they would have developed some adaptations suitable for their distinct environments. But a different likelihood is that one species evolved…

If you want to see a large dinosaur, then you are reading the right page. The Triceratops is about 9.5 to 9.8 feet tall and 30 feet long. This dinosaur was found by paleontologists in 1887. The Latin name for this dinosaur is Triceratops, it means "three horned face." The man that named the triceratops was Othniel Marsh. There is a ton of cool facts about this ginormous dinosaur. This dinosaur can weigh from 13,000 to 25,000 thousand pounds. The Triceratops dinosaur can get to be…

Triceratops are one of the most famous types of dinosaurs. They have been named the state fossil of South Dakota and named the state dinosaur of Wyoming. A person can watch Triceratops interact with other dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park and read about them in many children’s books (Triceratops Wikipedia). Triceratops are part of the Ornithischian family. Triceratops were named by Orthniel Marsh in 1889 after some brow horns were found near Denver, Colorado in 1887 (Fastovsky). This…

The triceratops was a large, four-legged, plant-eating ceratopsian dinosaur that had a frill of bone at the back of its skull and three distinguished horns on its face. … Triceratops were the most common kind in western North America and Canada. These dinosaurs were one of the last dinosaurs to roam the Western Interior. They lived in the late Cretaceous period, around 145.5 - 65.5 million years ago. Fossils of this species are most commonly recovered in the uppermost Cretaceous deposits of…

Joseph Griffith’s painting “The Surrender” shows George Washington riding on a triceratops at the end of what seems to be a war between the good and the evil. No one knows for certain the meaning of this painting, however, predictions have been made. In my mind I see a great and well known president riding on the dinosaur that is almost screaming at the evil side of the painting. I also see some very famous people and actors that have a major importance to set up my reasoning behind this…

Dreams are really something aren't they? Dreams can play in your head theatre nice and pleasant, they can play wild and spectacular, they can play terrifying and violent, and some just straight up go insane. Most of the dreams from my childhood were exactly like the last description. They just take some bad advice from my subconscious and go nuts with it. I possess this one set of dreams that I remember very well, and fit the criteria of ‘insane’. Most of these dreams, my 2nd grade self…

In the Spring of 2015, Jason Schein an assistant curator of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum was asked to go to the site of a dinosaur called Suuwassea. Thus far in life, Jason Schein has helped in the excavation of the last long- The Suuwassea dinosaur is categorized as a long tailed sauropod dinosaur that is found in the Upper Jurassic strata of the Morrison Formation. This dinosaur does not have a rich background but it does fill in some evolutionary gaps. The Suuwassea that…

Joseph Griffith’s “The Surrender” depicts George Washington riding a Triceratops, but that’s not what's really going on in this picture. Sure, there are many celebrities and famous imaginary characters, but the real theme is what is dividing the picture into sides. If you look closely, you can plainly tell that there is an American side, and a bad/ Islamic side. The painting is obviously split into a good guy/ bad guy theme. Where the Americans are the good, that's why George Washington and…

Sixty-five million years ago, dinosaurs like the tyrannosaurus rex and the triceratops once roamed the Earth. Suddenly all these great creatures disappeared and it’s not quite sure how they vanished from existence. There are several theories to explain what is known to be the most popular mass extinction of all time. Asteroid The belief that an asteroid struck the planet earth is the most common and most believed theory. This theory has more evidence to back it up than just a giant rock…

Anderson used microscopic samples of organic tissue found on fossils to prove that the earth was not created billions of years ago and that there is error found in the Conventional paradigm. Due to the cellular make-up of organic tissue, the tissue found on the Triceratops fossil would not have survived billions of years of breakdown and decay. Although these cellular samples could not have remained intact for billions of years, they could have survived thousands of years of breakdown and decay,…
